Parental origin of transgene modulates amyloid-β plaque burden in the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease
20 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
In Alzheimer's disease (AD) research, the 5xFAD mouse model is commonly used as a heterozygote crossed with other genetic models to study AD pathology. We investigated whether the parental origin of the 5xFAD transgene affects plaque deposition. Using quantitative light-sheet microscopy, we found that paternal inheritance of the transgene led to a 2-fold higher plaque burden compared with maternal inheritance, a...
